Singapore officially opens The Marina Bay Sands
Singapore held an opening celebration on Wednesday for its second integrated resort — the Marina Bay Sands.
The Marina Bay Sands integrated resort houses 2,560 hotel rooms and suites, a 340-meter long rooftop Sands SkyPark, a museum, shopping malls, celebrity chef restaurants, as well as a casino, which launched the trial running two months ago.
During a press conference on Wednesday, the integrated resort said that an average of about 25,000 people visit the casino each day since its soft opening, and some 500,000 punters have passed through the casino this month alone.
When fully open, the Marina Bay Sands is expected to attract over 70,000 visitors a day and 18 million visitors a year.
Sheldon Adelson, Chairman and CEO of Las Vegas Sands, the parent company of Marina Bay Sands, predicted the 5.5-billion-U.S.- dollar property would usher in a new era of tourism development.
“For countries serious about boosting tourism and creating new jobs, the integrated resort model is unmatched and Marina Bays Sands will now be the reference point by which all new tourism projects are judged,” Adelson said.
